Laura started playing basketball for her middle school team in grade 6. Since then, she has competed with my high school and various rep and age class teams. She is also an accomplished rower, being named the SJHS MVP in 2009.

Laura enjoys the adrenalin rush that basketball provides as well as the friendships she develops with  teammates. "I love making progress as a team and seeing it translate out on the court. The fitness is also an added bonus!"

Outside of basketball, Laura is the assistant coach of the SJHS rowing team. She was the class representative in grade 10 and grade 12 and attained high honours academically. She received the UNB Entrance Scholarship.

"This season, I am looking forward to finishing in a strong playoff position and causing a few upsets along the way," says Laura.  By the end of the season, she would like the team to be playing in the league final.
